Treat rapid certainty as evidence that a single schema dominated without competition, since genuine deliberation between competing schemas produces slower processing and felt uncertainty.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Cognition Operates Through Dual Processing Systems (System 1 fast/effortless vs System 2 slow/effortful) and Compiled Pattern Recognition Outpaces Rule-Following (pattern recognition vastly faster than rule-following). Fast certainty indicates System 1 pattern match with single schema; deliberate comparison requires System 2's slower processing.
